That made me laugh, Minesatea and ToadMum. I now advise all first time 'school' parents to buy labels with surname only so they're good for all children! I learnt this to my cost - am now stuck with hundreds of sew on labels (first time mum = good intentions!) for DS1 and now just write surnames on everything with a marker!

I think I learnt this on here, this is what we do. Surname labels on everything. Then in sharpie one dot on the label for child one, two for child two etc. we even sometimes dot similar non-school items. With similar sized children it's stopped the 'he's wearing my shirt' arguments.

Off topic story, while we are on labelling: the biggest laugh caused by my (and a friends) failure to relabel clothing came at a scout camp last year attended my ds1(young leader), ds2 with cubs and a friends 6 year old beaver, who, it turned out, were all wearing uniform labelled with DS1's name! The scout leaders confusion, when he handed a selection of mislaid uniform back to DS1 (age 16, 5ft 11) at the end of the weekend was apparently hysterical.

been a hot day at primary and all the jumpers came off. DS came out at the end of the day with 3 - his own, his sisters and that of a friend who had borrowed an old one as leaving at the end of the term... well at least they all got back to us
